Trump gives Iran 48 hours to make a deal, as hunt goes on for missing US pilot

CAIRO/WASHINGTON, April 4 (Reuters) - Iranian and U.S. forces were searching for a missing American pilot on Saturday from one of two warplanes downed over Iran and the Gulf, while President Donald Trump warned Tehran time was running out on his latest deadline for a deal to end the war.

The prospect of a U.S. ‌service member alive and on the run in Iran raised the stakes for Washington as the conflict entered its sixth week with scant prospect of peace talks in sight and polls ‌showing low public support.

With Iran's leadership defiant since the start of the war, its foreign minister left the door open in principle for peace talks with the U.S. via mediation from Pakistan, but gave no sign of Tehran's willingness to bow to Trump's ​demands.
